TRADE IN GENERAL.

Money Is Still Felt at Some Points.

come, it will be clear that the locking

has more depressing influence than
many realize. The absorption of the

Western Union removes an important

NOGALES NOTES.
(From the Record. !

The Fl Carmen mine in the Arispe District has been sold by the owner, MT. Juan Pedrazzini, to Baron Rothchild of London for SI62,ooo. A portion of the ore from this mine runs S3,ooo to the ton. The company employs about fifty men.
 The Fl Negro silver mine in the Arispe district, owned by an American company, is now working on ore that is worth S7oo to the ton; they are working sixty men.
 Senor Albeito Salado, Justice of the Peace in Nogales, Sonora, returned this week after five months sojourn at To- polobambo, with the colonists. He re- ports the colonists sadly in want of pro visions. There are about 200 colonists there now.
 The German colonization company now has fifty German families located upon their ground in the Arispe district, Sonora Their concession calls for 200 families, within two years. Those already settled there have gone to work in earnest and appear happy and coHtehted.

The Pioneer Stables of this city are always to the front. Messrs Hare & Page spare no expense at their stables on Al len street, above the Occidental hotel Their carriages are the best and their horses compare favorably with any on the coast. Horses boarded by the day, week or month. Their saddle horses are the best in the city. Mining men wish. ing to visit Sonora can be supplied with good outfits, at the most reasonable rates and in fact cheaper than any place else in the city or county.

HARRIS PUP.

Harris, the tailor, feels justly indignant about the way in which his dog has been treated by certain parties whom he de- nominates hoodlums They first took the little animal and painted him all the colors of the rainbow; then they GU. off his (the dog's) tail To crown the indig- nlty they m sde away with the entire pup, and his recovery could only be effected by liberal reward which was offered and given. Now Harris is a taxpayer and an industrious citizen, who attends to his own business stri ctly, and leaves other peoples alone just as strictly; besides, he adver'ises in the EPIrAPH, which is an other thing that can be said in his favor; but that has nothing to do with the pup. Are not the officers of the law competent to protect citizen and taxpayer and an advertiser in the EPITAPH in the full enjoyment of his rights in the possession of a dog or any other animal he chooses to possess, provided he is not cruel to the animal, ;herepy laying himself liable to prosecution under the law for the prevention of cruelty to animals? And Judge Shearer ought to know that law. He will find it in the Texas code, page Io2o, C. M., If he does not know the law Harris will show it to him. There is no foolishness about this business. We were instructed by Harris himself to write this thing up with its most narrowing de. tails and to send the bill to him, and we propose to see justice done, though the heavens fall, for consideration. Swain would probably do this be tier, but well do the best we can. Now a man who would thus decorate an innocent little dog, or who would, either by piecemeal or otherwise entice away another mans property IS not fit to be trusted in d hen house or dog kennel. This is pretty severe language, but we have carefully weighed the words and are prepared to substantiate them before any court in the land even Judge Shearers. 1.-the mat
 ter has to be settled outside of court by trip to Sonora-a "a Hamilton and Purdy--we are even prepared for that
 It is question of principle with us-not of life or death Who knows but youl dog or mine will be the next victim o
 this vandal horde. We have no idea what vandal horde means but it seems te sound pretty we'll in this connection. (This is about $Io worth now, and con
 sequently we shall bring the matter to , head with peroration.) Why did our forefathers fight for liberty or death if we are net to be left alone in the peaceful
 possession of our property-if the mirth- full California hoodlum is to attach tin cans to the caudal appendages of oul canines, if he is to fresco them like 8
 Zebra or Gila Monster, if he is to GU
 off their little innocent tails, and carr
 off not only the tails but the dogs? Ech,

The Grand Army posts of Arizona gladly welcome the formation of pro.
 visional department, which was decided
 upon this week by National Commander Fairchild. They have grown weary of playing tall to the California kite. At the last Department Encampment, the California men, who were largely in the majority, had not the decency to elect even one Arizonan to represent the de- partment at the National Encampment at St. Louis, nor have they ever done so to any National Encampment. Applica- tion was made nearly year ago for a provision department, but the matter hung fire until the present time owing to the opposition to A. L. Grow for De. par,ment Commander. While his ap. pointment may not be an "imminently

proper one," as the Prospector says, now that he is appointed, it IS to be hoped the Grand Army posts will stand shoulder to shoulder in sustaining him during the brief time he shall be in office. At the St. Louis encampment the provisional department will be changed to regular Department of Arlzona. Officers will be elected, and the different posts of the Territory will act in harmony in sus- taining the great objects of the order, Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty"

LIEUT-GOV. WATERMAN.

By the interpretation of death, the office of Governor of California has fallen from the hands of Democrat into those of a Republican.
 Lieut.-Gov. Waterman, who has be- come the head of the State, now that Gov Bartlett is no more, was one of the sue cessful Republican candidates in the very much mixed political contest oi the year 1886. His election was sor, of political surprise, as his nor,ina- ton was one of the curiosities of politics He was one elected by 3 olnrality o 2,4o3 votes receiving 94,969 votes tc 9a,476 fer Tarpey (Democrat), 5,S36 fol Boren (Prohibitionist), 1858 for Bel (O'Donnell-Labor(, and I2I for Mir Scattering.
 MT. Waterman was without experience in public affairs before he was made Lieutenant Governor, and the brief ex perience he acquired as nominal presid ing officer of the Senate at the last ses sion of that body is not sufficient to equiI him thoroughly for the duties of the sec ond place. As to the first place, it is al untred one to him, and the future mus determine the measure of his success therein. He is entitled to a fair trial il the office before judgment is pronoun ced upon his administration of it.

AN ARIZONA IDYl,

The driver on the Florence stage on the morning of which we write shall be called Dick Renshaw, for that was not his name. He was known up and down the road for his skill in driving four in hand, as we'll as for his good looks and gaudy attire. In short, he was a wild Western "masher." Always cleanly shaven with broad sombrero and red necktie Gin addition, of course, to other appareD he was the 6ean ideal of the border dude. As he sat on top of the coach that morn ing m front of the Silver King Hotel, rib bons in hand. he felt as proud as aprince and would not have exchanged places with the President.
 Tripping down the hotel steps came a trim little figure, clothed in neatly fitting duster, faultless gloves and shoes, and meekly inquired if she might ride on top, as she wished to view the scenery. AL though the seat was already engaged by San Francisco drummer, Dick gallant ly replied, Certainly, Miss, certainly" And suiting action to word gave her a hand and up she came. Fitting a satchel under her little feet, he asked her if she was comfortable, and away the pran- cling broncos went down the grade and up the hill towards Florence.
 She prattled continually, and occasion ally grasped Dicks arm when the wheels went into a rut. She told him how she had been teaching school and was sup porting widow mother. Artless little thing, she would give scream when go- over bad-looking piece of road on the mountain side, and Dick would be com pelled to put his arm around her waist tc support her. She would snuggle up to him in guileiess, ch,ldlike manner unti the danger was over.
 On coming to a small bridge over ar arroya, Dick solemnly informed her tha l II ndQ Occu lnC CuSbOui uCii tihiS to ahi memorial to collect toll when crossing that particular bridge, and he blushed tt the roots of his hair at his boldness The demure Miss replied that she hat no desire to break the rules of the road and the smack that followed caused th' leaders to jump. The bridges were onl. too few, but toll was collected on each and Dick was the happiest man il America.
 | Approaching Florence, the long bridg over the Gila came in sight. Dick heav ed sigh as he thought they were near ] ing their journeys end. Coming on tn bridge, toll was collected, and as the tire' horses walked slowly over the structure the fair one was informed that on ac count of the length of the bridge 1t wa necessary to collect at both ends. 1 There was roguish twinkle in tn blue eyes, as she simply suggested: "l that is the case, perhaps you had bette
 kiss my foot"
 Dick has since come to the conclusion
 that she was artful creature, and wa playing upon his feelings.

The Supreme Court of Illinois has confirmed the judgment of the lower court, and the sentence of death against the Chicago anarchists, Spies, Fielder, Parsons. Fisher and Louisling, will be carried into effect on the IIth day of November next. While the EPITAPH is not bloodthirsty in the slightest degree it cannot but feel tha. the judgment is a righteous one. Anarchy should not be allowed a foothold on American soil.

The Board of Supervisors, at their meeting on the 7th of July, appropriated $500 to the use of Judge Barnes, con. ditloned upon his holding such special terms of Court in this county as may be needed to keep the criminal and civil docke,s clear. Whether the Board oi Supervisors had the authority of law to make such an appropriation of the peo- ple's money is mooted question among legal lights. But certain it is that the county jail is full of prisoners; civil matters are kept waiting; two months and half have rolled by, and we hea, nothing of Judge Barnes or his special terms. He should earn his money as we'll as the man who polishes the head O. a drill.

Our esteemed though ungrammatic;

Our esteemed though ungrammatical contemporary finds fault with the EP- ITAPH's English, and intimates that it has the Missouri flavor rather than the pure Sacramento river article. 'Tis true, Missouri kids are taught that "board of supervisors" and family" are collective nouns. and can take either the singular or plural verb. How is it with the young idea who masters the language by wading in the raging Sacramento's debris?

In reply to an inquiry as to why he had published an application for pat ent in the Prospector, a well.known mining man said that he feared an ad- verse claim, and consequently was in- -terested in not having any one know the notice was published.
